The world is full of weird animals.
Look at these pictures.
Can you believe those are all insects?
The giant walking stick is the longest insect in the world.
It can grow up to 32cm long!
They are hard to find, because they look just like the branches around them.
The puss moth caterpillar is one strange bug.
To scare off bigger animals, the puss moth caterpillar has a scary ‘face’ on one side of its body.
This is not a real face at all. It’s just a few spots and lines!
Treehoppers are some of the weirdest insects in the world.
Thorn treehoppers have big, pointy shells.
Together, a group of thorn treehoppers look like thorns on a branch.
The Brazilian treehopper might be the strangest insect of all.
It has weird, hairy spheres on top of its head.
No one is sure what the spheres are for.
Insects can be weird!
